Topic: Coal Plant

During a confirmation hearing for the Energy Secretary, Scott Bessent challenged Senator Ron Wyden's focus on a "clean energy race" with China. Bessent noted that China is building 100 new coal power plants annually, arguing that the U.S. must prioritize an "energy race" rather than a "clean energy" race. The exchange highlighted a shift toward incentivizing domestic coal and natural gas production.

Donald Trump criticizes John Kerry's climate diplomacy, noting that China continues to build coal plants while the U.S. restricts its own energy production. Trump argues that wind turbines are a "green scam" that kills thousands of birds, including bald eagles, without consequence. He pledges to open federal lands for housing construction and protect Social Security from being depleted by illegal immigration.

G7 nations have reached an agreement to shut down all coal-fired power plants in the coming years, a move criticized as a suppression of human wealth. In contrast, MIT researchers claim a breakthrough in practical fusion energy. The segment highlights footage of a Chinese "artificial sun" experiment, suggesting that advanced energy technologies are being developed but kept from the general public.

President Joe Biden and John Kerry are criticized for vowing to shut down US coal plants, following a policy trajectory set by Barack Obama in 2008. The closure of major coal plants in East Texas is cited as a threat to the power supply of Dallas and Houston. Claims are made that wind and solar energy are unreliable replacements that will lead to a 10% reduction in total generating power.

The Biden administration's plan to regulate or ban various household appliances is detailed, alongside California's probe into classic car owners. Jones highlights the hypocrisy of a new $4 billion Panasonic EV battery factory in Kansas that requires its own coal plant for power. He argues that globalists enforce "carbon for me, not for thee" policies.

U.S. Climate Envoy John Kerry praised China as a leader in renewable energy manufacturing despite the country building three new coal power plants per week. The production of solar panels and electric vehicle batteries is described as highly toxic and dependent on slave labor in Chinese-controlled facilities. Critics argue the "Green Revolution" is a deindustrialization program designed to make the West dependent on authoritarian regimes.

The Wall Street Journal editorial board has issued a warning about the instability of the U.S. electric grid as coal plants are retired without sufficient replacements. Mike Adams argues this is a deliberate "green cult" takedown intended to force the U.S. into third-world conditions. The instability is expected to lead to rolling blackouts across 13 eastern states.

Social media platforms including Google and Facebook are accused of "memory-holing" viral videos of Democrats, including Kamala Harris, questioning the 2016 election results. Domestic energy policy is criticized for shutting down nearly 1,000 coal power plants under the Obama and Biden administrations, leading to a reported 56% increase in electric bills. The federal government's refusal to allow Texas to increase power generation during the 2021 Polar Vortex is cited as a primary cause for the state's two-week power outage.

Evidence for a global depopulation agenda is cited through statements from figures like King Charles III and the late Prince Philip. While the West shuts down coal plants, countries like China and India continue to build them, highlighting a perceived hypocrisy in global energy policy. The transition to electric vehicles is dismissed as a lie due to the lack of rare earth minerals and the toxic nature of batteries.

Jones and Tate discuss the potential for "false flags" and manufactured energy shortages ahead of the U.S. midterms. They reference Project Veritas footage regarding environmental agendas and the intentional shutdown of coal plants in the West while China continues to build them. Tate argues that causing blackouts and famine is a deliberate tactic to scare people into accepting a "safety" narrative.

The Supreme Court issued a major ruling limiting the EPA's authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from power plants without explicit Congressional approval. This decision is framed as a victory against globalist efforts to bankrupt the American people through artificial energy scarcity and rolling blackouts. The Biden administration is accused of facilitating a transition to unreliable solar and wind energy while competitors like China and Russia increase their fossil fuel dominance.

The host discusses the banning of OAN from cable and the lack of coverage on election fraud by mainstream outlets. A historical clip of Barack Obama is played where he discusses bankrupting coal plants. The segment argues that US coal technology is actually clean due to advanced "scrubbers," while China continues to build traditional coal plants without environmental restrictions.

The Biden administration has reportedly canceled over a thousand pipeline projects and 60% of drilling permits in its first 115 days, effectively "bankrupting" the U.S. fossil fuel industry. Meanwhile, China and India continue to build hundreds of dirty coal power plants without environmental scrubbers. This disparity is framed as a strategic move to destroy the American economy while allowing international competitors to thrive on cheap energy.

Jones discusses the implementation of carbon surveillance and taxes, claiming the Rothschild family owns the global carbon exchange. He recounts a helicopter trip to the Texas-Mexico border where he observed Mexican coal plants emitting heavy pollution while American plants are being shut down. He argues that globalists are intentionally shifting dirty energy production to China and India to cripple the U.S. economy.

Reuters reports that the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) made a $16 billion pricing error during the February 2021 winter storm. The segment alleges that federal regulations prevented coal plants from increasing output, leading to artificial scarcity. It is argued that these energy crises are formulaic operations designed to bankrupt the public and consolidate power.

The failure of the Texas power grid (ERCOT) is attributed to the decommissioning of coal plants under the Obama administration and a reliance on unreliable wind turbines. Senator Chuck Schumer is criticized for suggesting Texas "learned its lesson" regarding climate change. The host argues that coal is the most "resilient" and clean energy source available.

Jones and a caller from Pennsylvania discuss the potential for rolling blackouts to be used as a political tool to punish red states. Jones points to Spain's "10-year depression" caused by a transition to wind energy and the shutdown of coal plants. He argues that private monopolies are creating a system worse than a Soviet state, necessitating a balance between markets and vigilant public oversight.

The Texas power outages are compared to the tactics of Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, who kept lights on only in his palace. Jones alleges that the City of Austin intentionally divested from coal plants to create this crisis. He claims the ERCOT system is engaging in "Kabuki theater" by commanding where power is turned off to simulate a shortage.

Jones references Cleon Skousen's book *The Naked Communist*, claiming its predictions from 1958 have all come true. A caller named Levi claims to be a "prophet of God" and says the nation is being judged. Jones agrees, stating that the closure of 120 power plants under Obama has left the country vulnerable to the "BS" of the ERCOT system.
